Enel Contemporanea is a public art project launched in 2007 to promote a reflection about energy, through the universal language of art. The aim of Enel is to stimulate public opinion on a highly topical theme: the use of energy in its various articulations, as a sustainable and renewable source.

Since 2007 the project has offered annually original artworks created by international artists who help to highlight and popularize the route already embarked upon by Enel in this direction, thanks to their recognized skills in research and innovation.

In 2010-2011 the art projects have been selected through an international award – Enel Contemporanea Award –always under the artistic direction of Francesco Bonami.
